More Help with the isee Player and Modeling

This interactive tutorial uses a basic model to help you and your students become familiar with using Stella models in the isee Player. While it is not necessary to walk through the tutorial, it is highly recommended. The tutorial is also a great resource to direct students to if they are doing model investigations on their own.

Alternatively, you may wish to download the file: isee-tutorial-GLOBECC.ppt(PowerPoint 1.2MB Dec19 08), which uses the biomass model to demonstrate isee player capabilities. This tutorial is a PowerPoint presentation, which can be printed and distributed to students.

Other Carbon Storage Activities

The activity presented here is part of a larger set of activities created by the GLOBE Carbon Cycle team which looks at the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems.

Another dataset from the U.S. FIA is the age of forests by state. Remember that the younger a forest is, the greater its capacity to take up carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the tree. ForestAge_RPA.xls(Excel 1.4MB Dec19 08)
